Brief Answer:
There is no need to take the remaining 2 doses.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi
Welcome back.
Since the culprit dog remained to be healthy even after 12 days so, there is no need to take the remaining 2 doses on days 14 and 28.
The dog should be observed for at least 10 days from the day of bite to see if it behaves abnormally or dies.
Hope to have answered your query.
Best wishes to all.

Kindly see the answers for your query given below:
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi
Welcome back.
1. Abnormal behavior of the dog include biting without any provocation, eating abnormal items such as sticks, nails, feces, running for no apparent reason, hoarse barking and growling or inability to make a sound excessive salivation or foaming at the angles of the mouth.
2. If the dog survives for more than 10 days it has no illness of rabies but it does not mean the it is fine completely and can not spread the disease because the the incubation period ranges from a few days to several months, whereas the duration of illness – until death – varies from 1 to 7 days.
3. Yes, your brother has received the right doses and the scheduled dates and on the recommended site (deltoid muscle of the arm).
Best regards.
